And that would be because I missed your post the first time. Sorry about that. You've been added and MrWillSauce has been PMed that it's his turn.

[Rumrusher]

though with Advfort you can avoid sleep loading in creatures by just doing the clean job when drowsy.
which will cause your character to sleep like npcs(or in 40d).

So, just to be clear, does using Slayrace make them duplicate? Or just obsidianizing them?

Neither of those things has anything to do with them duplicating.

I'll see if I can't get region-pops to do the trick though.
Edit: Seems the region pop and the site pop are completely separate from each other. Rodent men are listed as having 310 peeps and batmen aren't listed at all, so I doubt changing it would affect anything.

"region-pops list" only lists what's been encountered so far on the current game, which requires unpausing after reveal. You'll need "region-pops list-all" to see everything. Region populations determine what can enter the map, drawn from the number pool, added back in when they leave the map, and subtracted when they die. If you use "region-pops mult-all RODENT_MAN 0" or similar, then clear out all those currently on-site, then it should stop them from coming back at all. Demons are a problem, though, since their population is infinite and cannot be reduced to zero.

Sad that the caves were filled in beneath the hall. But for the best, I suppose.

The problem persists, you say? What the hell could possibly be causing it?

[Spish]

^ Simple. The population is still there and the game is trying to place them despite the caverns being totally nonexistant (there is actually even a small portion of the rodent man and demon population that still appears inside the obsidian). If we can find a way to purge these duplicated phantom population imprints (at least that's what I think it is, with my very limited programming knowledge) from the data itself, then problem solved. I'm at a loss as to how to do that though.

Unpausing after revealing and then using region-pops list-all doesn't seem to make a difference.

[WillowLuman]

Kill them with hacking, use region-pops to set the population to zero. Should work, as long as no one plays the site in fort mode. Adventure mode will depopulate caverns if it goes on for an in-game week or so. So, at least a week of adventure mode between any forts and anyone visiting the site should stop the population from restoring after the initial wipe.

[Spish]

If you know how Region-Pops works then why don't you try it? I can't make heads or tails of this thing, and I'm fairly positive the region population has nothing to do with the problem.

[WillowLuman]

Ask at the dfhack thread. I'm very busy, so I can't get to it myself (at least not tonight), but I can help instruct. The region population has lots to do with everything.

[Spish]

Edit: Whoops, disregard.

[MrWillsauce]

Sorry guys, I didn't notice the message in my inbox until just now. I don't have the time or the drive to play a turn right now. Go ahead and skip me.

I love how DF itself has successfully derailed this succession game.

[Vodrilus]

Wait, what, it's my turn already? 
I'm celebrating Easter away from home, so I'll get back to my gaming 'puter on Monday evening.
But have a happy Easter! (If you follow the western calendar, that is...  )

Spoiler: The Tragically Short-Lived Journey of the Tragically Short-Lived Human Adventurer Rossu Conjuredsanctums (click to show/hide)

So, you want to become an adventurer, child? You want to travel the world and make a name for yourself slaughtering evil creatures and outlaws? You want to be known throughout the world as a hero?

Well, stop wanting that, child, because such ideas are misguided and stupid. When was the last time you heard of a giant tiger or werecreature stalking the countryside? When was the last time you saw a poster displaying the visage of a local bandit or ringleader wanted for theft or murder? And if you've got big dreams about dragons and titans, I'm not even sure they exist.

You know who else dreamt of fame and fortune by the edge of a sword? Rossu Conjuredsanctums, from the  hamlet of Paddedstokers. She got up one day and said she was going to cleanse the world of evil, and when no one could point her in the right direction, she headed towards the capital.

The law-giver told her to shove off and go play somewhere else, and when she tried to scrape up a mission, a wise-cracking local suggested she track down a bandit "hiding" in the catacombs beneath the castle. The catacombs, child. The dark maze full of corpses, the only exit to which goes straight through the well-guarded castle. The place where troublemakers get tossed when they're making too much trouble so they can beat on each other without disturbing the peace. And do you know what that idiot did, child? She dove right in along with a bowman she had puppy-dog-eyed into coming with her. And she opened a door, and a spearman ran right over and stabbed them both to death. Because he was BORED and they were easy targets.

THE END.

Second story (with pictures) to come in a bit.

[Vodrilus]

Currently downloading. Will give it a stab or two, and see if I'll actually survive long enough to become a legendary bad-ass. If I die too readily, I might even whip up a fort in some sweet spot.

And man, did Rossu teach us a lesson!

[Larix]

How's the turn coming along?

[Spish]

Oy, Manze, what's goin' on?
